Participatory science after candidate scarcity
Science becomes a field of executable worlds.
AI can already propose mechanisms, write simulations, inspect results and revise implementations. The next scientific bottleneck is not imagination. It is governance.
Enter without credential debt
Transductive Science removes mandatory prepayment of inherited effort. Anyone may begin with a question, anomaly, historical fracture or executable mechanism.
Pay evidence debt
What survives must be reconstructible, adversarially tested, compared with rivals and attached to provenance.
Fork reality models
A project branch is not merely disagreement. It is a parallel executable world with explicit assumptions and discriminating tests.
Donate cognition and compute
Participants contribute questions, benchmarks, AI research tabs, simulations, replication runs, formal proofs and clean-room verification.
The proposition: science can become participatory without becoming permissive, because entry is opened while retention becomes harder.
